Structure and architecture model of 50th Street Ventilation Facility

This project was awarded by Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). It is a new ventilation facility which will be built that will support train operations and passenger spaces that will be located at the new New York LIRR terminal at Grand Central Terminal. Five buildings will be demolished followed by excavation for the ventilation building and shafts and a new reinforced concrete loading dock will be built.

In this project, I helped my supervisor to build an architecture and structure BIM model for this project, which is used for construction simulation and coordination. I  helped my supervisor create families special for this project, like the detail connecting components of beam and column, and some irregular shape components.  Moreover, I checked the models in Naviswork and helped my supervisor modify models.
